Answer:

The remainder is -1

The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

In the algebraic division, there are 4 terms

  1. Dividend ⇒ the term before the division sign
  2. Divisor ⇒ the term after the division sign
  3. Quotient ⇒ the answer
  4. Remainder ⇒ appear when the dividend not divisible by the divisor (the divisor is not a factor of the dividend)

<u><em>The remainder theorem:</em></u>

  • If you divide a polynomial f(x) by (x - h), then the remainder is f(h).
  • You do not need to use the long division to find the remainder, just evaluate the polynomial when x = h to find the remainder.
  • If h(h) = 0, then (x - h) is a factor of f(x)

Let us use it to solve the question

∵ The dividend is x² - 2

∴ f(x) = x² - 2

∵ The divisor is x - 1

∴ (x - h) = (x - 1)

∴ h = 1

Let us find f(1)

∵ f(1) = (1)² - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1

∴ f(1) = -1

∴ The remainder is -1

∵ f(1) ≠ 0

∴ x - 1 is not a factor of x² - 2

∴ The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

The graphs of functions f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k are shown below:
Nataly [62]
Here's the info for f(x):  We are going to find the slope of the line and then write the equation for the line using one of the given points.  The coordinate points we are given are (0, 0) and (2, 4).  Using the slope formula:
m= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1}  }
gives us a slope equation of:
m= \frac{4-0}{2-0} and the slope is 2.  Using the point (0, 0) to write the equation of the line for f(x) looks like this in the slope-intercept form of the equation:
y- y_{1} =m(x- x_{1}) where m is the sloppe of 2 that we found and y_{1}  and  x_{1}  are the coordinates of one of the points.  It doesn't matter which one you choose; you will get the same answer whether you use (0, 0) or (2, 4): y-0=2(x-0)   Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis and simplifying gives you the equation of y = 2x, or in our function notation, f(x) = 2x.  Since f(x) is the first part of g(x), so far for g(x) we have that g(x) = 2x + k.  Now we will do the same thing for g(x) that we did for f(x) as far as writing its equation down; we don't need to find the slope cuz the slope of g(x) is the function f(x).  The equation for g(x), using the point (0, 2) (again, you could have used either point; I just picked (0, 2) cuz the other one has a decimal in it!): y - 2 = 2(x - 0).  Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis gives you this: y - 2 = 2x - 0; y = 2x + 2.  So 2 is your k value!

What will be the coordinates
svlad2 [7]
N=(-1,-4)
hmm, a 270 counterclockwise rotation is the same as a 90 degree clockwise

so that would become (-4,1)
N'=(-4,1)
